Event Date
As California advances toward higher electric vehicle (EV) sales goals public fast charging stations will be needed in greater numbers. These chargers will be needed to facilitate long distance travel, meet occasional charging needs, and could be useful for households without home charging. This webinar will explore EV driver preferences for public fast charging stations, including preferences for charging speed, cost sensitivity, and preferences for amenities—such as restrooms and coffee shops. Using results from a Stated Preference choice experiment this webinar will explore results that quantify trade-offs in cost, time, and facility features, while evaluating how factors like income and vehicle range influence decisions. The webinar will provide insights to optimize charging infrastructure investments, improve user experience, and accelerate ZEV adoption.
